Proportionally, the MLB playoffs are a much smaller sample size than the NFL playoffs.  In fact, "faux parity" applies more to the MLB than the NFL.  The MLB is a scam where you can watch your team win 22 straight games in August and then get bounced in the first round because your Cy Young candidate allowed a .412 BABIP that didn't have time to regress over the twelve innings he pitched.

At least football and to a lesser extent hockey are sports of aggression where physical dominance increases your margin for error.  A great NFL defense is going to show up every week, provided they're healthy, and perform to standard.  A great NBA star is going to show up and get his numbers every night.  When you fought Tyson, you were fighting Tyson.  In the MLB Miguel Cabrera can hit .205 in the ALDS and nobody bats an eye because it's expected.  It's what makes the MLB postseason compelling but it's also what makes me hate the people who get excited on opening day.  The NFL strikes the perfect balance.
